Summer is a busy time for a lot of people. More travel, kids are at home. When time gets tight, workouts can be the first thing to go.

Next time you are tight on time, give this circuit a try:

 555 Circuit

 

For the lower body circuit, you can use a kettlebell or a dumbbell. You will do 5 swings, 5 goblet squats, and 5 deadlifts. After the 5 deadlifts, you will start back with the 5 swings. Keep that up for 1 minute straight, rest 30 seconds, and then start the upper body circuit.

The upper body circuit is shoulder presses, bent over rows, and pushups on top of your weights. Same pattern as the lower body with the continual 555s.

Do each circuit for as long as you have time for. It won't take much time, it hits several muscles from head to toe, burns fat, and gets your heart rate going.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!
